Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

This is not the healthiest thing I’ve ever posted here at Running on Real Food, but sometimes you just really need some vegan peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough, ya know?
No Raw Eggs, So Dig In!
Oh, and best thing about vegan peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough, you may ask. No raw eggs!
This isn’t the cookie dough you’d sneak as a kid while your mom wasn’t looking. It’s just a few simple, friendly ingredients that taste pretty delicious when mixed together. Then again, it doesn’t take much to make chocolate chips and peanut butter taste good, does it now?
Upcoming Travel Adventures
The second super-duper exciting bit of news? My husband and I booked our flights to Thailand, ya! We’ll be leaving on November 21 and returning December 16. Ya, that’s right. 23 days of glorious, whatever-we-feel-like-doing travel in one of the most beautiful countries in the world (so I’ve heard!).
What am I most excited about? Well, the food. Duh. Then beaches, jungles, elephants, visiting some Thai CrossFit boxes, temples, hiking, national parks, snorkelling, hammocks, reading…all of it!
So, who’s been?? What were your favourites? Not so favourites? Must-sees? Tips? I’d love to hear about your experiences there.
I’m completely overwhelmed with planning because it’s so hard to narrow it down when you want to see it all! I wish we had 3 months, not 3 weeks! However, despite wanting to see as much as possible, I also don’t want to spend too much of our time in transit, so I will eventually narrow it down so we can really enjoy a few places rather than spread ourselves thin.
K, Resume Cookie Dough Chat!
Okay, that’s what’s up with me. On to what you’re really here for. Peanut butter chocolate chip COOKIE DOUGH!! Let’s do this thing 🙂
Vegan Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
About this vegan peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough..like, I said it’s not really a healthy treat but if craving strikes I’d rather satisfy it with a this single-serve cookie dough than go overboard with something else.
That being said, it’s not particularly unhealthy, it just offer much in the way of nutrition, which is something I usually focus on at Running on Real Food.
My only concern with this stuff is it’s highly addictive and far too easy to make, so be careful or you may find yourself making it on the daily and that might be just a little excessive, but hey, I won’t judge…it is cookie dough after all.
It’s All About Balance, Right?
To at least improve the nutrition in this cookie dough, use a good quality, organic flour, any type should work fine really. Pure maple syrup is key, not pancake syrup. Use natural peanut butter, not a processed variety (almond butter would be delicious too!). I use Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips which are vegan and free from all major allergens and use an organic coconut oil to hold it all together and add moisture.
I also like to add a little pinch of baking soda and sea salt, I find that really enhances the cookie dough flavour!
It takes about 1 minute to make, which is a little risky since you could so easily whip up a second or third serving!

Pin RecipeIngredients
- 3 tbsp whole-wheat flour

- 1 tbsp natural peanut butter
- 1 tbsp dairy-free chocolate chips
- 2–3 tsp coconut oil
- optional: 1/4 tsp baking soda and a pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a bowl.
Notes
Depending on how oily or dry your peanut butter is you can adjust the amount of coconut oil used. If the peanut butter is very oily, you may just need 1 tsp of coconut oil. Alternatively, if the peanut butter is very dry, use 2-3 tsp of coconut oil and if needed, a splash of water or almond milk.

I love this! I’ve also made a similar version using ground oats in place of some of the whole wheat flour for some texture. Yum!
Oh my gosh – that’s all! 😉
Thats’ all that’s needed.
This is not good. Not sweet enough and I dont like the maple flavor in these. Would not make again. Have had much better vegan pb cookie dough.

I’m sorry to hear you didn’t like it, Sara. I think it’s really yummy! I don’t find the maple flavour to be noticeable at all, and personally I find it sweet enough. I love to hear about your favourite pb cookie dough recipes so I can check them out! Thanks for the comment 🙂
Yum!! I’ve made some similar to these, but with coconut flour instead! Also, try cashew butter sometime! They also give it a great cookie dough like flavour 🙂
Lucky you get to go on Vacation , I was going to say also, I use coconut flour & oatmeal flour , but your version sounds delish…
Wow, I love recipes that only need a few ingredients, and this sounds like a great way to fulfill my chocolate chip cookie dough cravings without obsessing over whether or not I’m going to contract salmonella.
I just added these to my list of recipes to try asap!! I have and always will LOVE cookie dough- I was forever sneaking spoonfuls of it when my mom would leave dough to chill in the fridge when I was little. So it’s even better that this recipe doesn’t contain eggs, can’t wait to try this!
Let me know when you get a chance to try it!!
This recipe does NOT deserve one star! I loved it – super simple and satisfied my sweet tooth. I looove love love using maple syrup as a sweetener, but it doesn’t overpower in this recipe! Yummy 🙂

Phewf. Haha, I was waiting for someone else to try it and let me know! Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Sometimes you just need peanut butter and chocolate, right?!
Single-servings are life savers on those occasions as full batches of cookies can be dangerous (for me anyway)!
Just tried this recipe and LOVED it! Super simple and totally hit the spot!

I’m so glad it filled your craving! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy! Thanks for the comment 🙂
I make a version using vegan non-GMO organic vanilla protein powder (Arbonne), Barney Bare Almond Butter, a bit of honey, Enjoy Life chocolate chips. I usually just take a tablespoon of the butter, sprinkle a bit of protein to stir into butter to desired consistency, a squirt of honey, sprinkle of chocolate chips!
